They've said that they weren't wearing costumes bc it's just meant to be a little taster of the show rather than an actual performance, which is also why there wasn't the dance break (obviously olaf has to be in costume otherwise its not him singing😂)
@@jessbrannon_actor sorry yeah that was so unclear from me. I meant: if the actor playing Olaf wasn't in costume, it would just be 'some guy' singing the songs, rather than the character of Olaf. The actors still look a little like the characters when they're out of costume but Olaf wouldn't at all... if that makes anymore sense (idk if it does lol)
Damn Disney’s really pulling out all the stops with the casting. The West End cast is just absolutely phenomenal!! It’s difficult to find perfect fits for such beloved characters, especially with them all being voiced by some pretty iconic actors. They all look, sing and act the part perfectly! I only wish I was in the west end to see it live!

Everything seems to be going out in mono with some sort of time delay that makes it phase too. Not sure the circumstances around it. I’d imagine they print the audio live to EVS which is what goes on RUclips, so there’s no post production at all. Just a sound feed of sorts going into the video recorder.
@@madiface oh 1000%. it just really frigging annoys me, its always terrible. Its not like its been one year terrible then they learned from their mistakes you know? Its just always dreadful.
@@milliemay5678 probably because Olaf is a puppet so makes it easier to tell who the actor is playing if he’s in costume with the Olaf puppet, don’t quote me tho not 100% sure
Kind of surprised they're making them use American accents. They all sound really great, but it seems unnecessary for this show. I love to hear actors' natural accents!
@@Jonasj92 Well sure, but the only reason the original characters have American accents is because those actors are American. Frozen's not set in a place where they need to have American accents. Like how les mis and phantom are even set in Europe but in America they're played with american accents because the actors are american. I think it would be nice to have Frozen with the actors' natural accents. Of course they do it beautifully either way.
@@ikathiggs13 I've seen it both on tour and on broadway in the US and they've always used american accents! Or at least "singer-neutral" accents, they definitely haven't affected a British accent when I've seen it.
I hateee it when West End shows have British accents because I get used to the Broadway cast recording so much that it just sounds so wrong. I'm so glad they're doing American accents bc otherwise it ruins the magic of it.
FUN FACT: both of my sisters and I went to the same high school as Oliver and all of us were taught by the exact same drama teacher and the exact same music teacher
Is it just me who doesn't get why they're putting on american accents? like I get that they were all american in the film but still. it's set in norway.. accents shouldn't matter
You do realise how hot it is on stage Imagine being inside a costume no thanks I like they way they’ve done it also Olaf is originally voiced by an adult so ..
@@rubieleybourne5628 only seeing his now, but another reason they couldn’t have a child is because they would have to have multiple children due to the rules with kids in the west end. And the show already has like 6 kids already (young Anna and Elsa) it would to much haste, I love the idea of the puppet it’s clever :)
NOT THE AUDIENCE YELLING "PUDDLE" DURING IN SUMMER, I CAN'T 😂
IK IT SENT MEEE
I was in the actual frozen performance today and there was so many (including this little girl) who shouted that while they were performing 😂
I do it everytime it comes on in the car (my two boys LOVE Frozen!). I'm not sure I could resist it if we go to see it...
timestamp?

Oliver sounds fantastic! Loved Stephanie as well. Her “YES!” was perfect
Craig is PHENOMENAL as Olaf!
OLIVER ORMSON IS PERFECT AS HANS!
FUN FACT: both of my sisters and I went to the same high school as Oliver and we were all taught by the exact same drama teacher and the exact same music teacher
@@thejakelindsayvlogshow2324 that’s cool 😊
Physically, he makes me think of prince Eric, in Ariel 🤣
Audience saying "puddle" how vicious poor Olaf 😂
Disney have nailed their casting for frozen! Ollie is so good👍🏼would have liked to have seen the dance break in this performance though.
Dance break would be hard holding microphones
I like Olaf’s frozen II reference “Samantha” plus Samantha Barks is Elsa, lol.
Oliver Ormson literally has my whole heart ❤️
Oliver and Steph look so similar to their animated characters
Woooow, Stephanie and Oliver were AMAZING!
These two were the stand out performers for me. They were so animated like real Disney characters. Whole show was great though. Can't wait to return.
Perfect casting!
Truly. Ever since Stephanie and Samantha were cast I was “PERFECTION” 🙌🏻🙌🏻
Had the biggest smile on my face watching Oliver. So proud of him!
that guy lit looks like a disney prince!
I think he has some prince Eric goin on
His partner (Carrie Hope Fletcher) is currently playing Cinderella on the West End.
@@danielrobinson7350 she definitely didn't have a good day, just read her Instagram post about it!
Craig is amazing as Olaf, I’ve seen the show and the staging is perfect for this song as well! Amazing 🤩
Oliver’s voice is perfect for this!!!
This makes me so happy. Oliver is so good!
Oli Ormson is amazing!
Prince Hans though😍😍
oli's little 'yay' at the end 🥰
Oliver is great in this role!
FUN FACT: both of my sisters and I went to the same high school as Oliver and we were all taught by the exact same drama teacher and the exact same music teacher
That was incredible I can’t wait to see the rest of today’s shows
Oliver Ormson is magnificent
Such amazing cast! Craig, Oliver and Steph are brilliant🤩
The Frozen cast really are just perfect, huh?
Awww love Oliver Ormson and Steph McKeon too, such a fantastic performance. I wonder why they weren’t in costume?

OLIVER IS A PERFECT HANS
Oliver’s voice! 😍
Hans and Anna actors look so cute
The casting is so good😭😭💕💕
They've added the Samatha joke from Frozen 2!!! Can we talk about the Samantha joke from Frozen 2??????????
Who’s Samantha? I don’t know a Samantha.
@@monican88 Samantha barks plays elsa
@@jamesturrall7418 ...It's a joke from Frozen 2.
I cracked up during that one! And it's such a good inside joke now! 😂😂
And it has a double meaning with Sam as Elsa!! 🤣
This was an amazing performance but I also love Stephanie‘s outfit.
OLIVER!!!!! So good :)
I loved that a bit too much
Its lovely to have a job again, after being made redundant during the lockdown, so I can go to shows again :)
somehow it hadnt occurred to me they would be doing American accents lol but I love it
Getting Prince Eric and Ariel vibes from the two actors xD fab together
I have been more excited for a west end live performance!!
this looks so so good
I love this Anna!
3:35 when your friends bring up one of your phases
Oliver!!

that man was made to be hans damn
This is awesome!
Bellissimo!
Just a crying at the fact Carrie and Oli were both there together 🥺
I should’ve known Oliver would play has! He is perfect for it!!!

why are anna and hans not in costume?
You know thats a lot of us unemployed sound engineers around, maybe if you send us the stems we can make these sound good..... for once.

agreed, the sound for Westend Live always seems to be a shitshow
loool they really should bc the sound it shit every single year at west end live
OLI ORMSON!
I really with they would've perfomed When Everything Falls Apart and What Do You Know About Love (or at least the Love is an open door dance break!!)
1:38 !!!!!
SAMANTHA IN FROZEN!!!!!!!!!!!
Also, why is Olaf in costume but not Hans and Anna? Just curious
@@milliemay5678 probably because Olaf is a puppet so makes it easier to tell who the actor is playing if he’s in costume with the Olaf puppet, don’t quote me tho not 100% sure

On the thumbnail I generally thought Oliver was Henry cavil
Came here to say this lmao

I listen to the film version of love is an open door in Spanish (‘la puerta es el amor’) so it was rlly weird to hear the English 😂

Oooo 😍
Wonder why they didn’t wear their costumes!! They are so good though
Still low key wish they dressed them
Up in costumes like mascots
Why didn't Oliver and Stephanie wear their costumes?

When was West End Live? Can't believe I missed it 😭
Today and tomorrow. X
First 🤣
Is the show not streamed live?
Nope highlights on here
@@markj9w90 dang! Thanks. You know if it'll be available to watch in its entirety? I'm think I have before.
@@gazmondo somebody may have recorded it but the quality may not be the best.
Sad they didnt do let it go or put all the frozen people in costume..
Why not get ventriloquists to do this?
Is it just me who doesn't get why they're putting on american accents? like I get that they were all american in the film but still. it's set in norway.. accents shouldn't matter
Olaf seemed out of breathe….
Olaf would be so much better done by a ventriloquist
Why ain't Oliver and what ever the girl's name is in outfit
He looks creepy ( ollfa )
I don't like the Olaf. They should of gotten a small person or child and been him in the Olaf. This looks dumb. Sorry
You do realise how hot it is on stage Imagine being inside a costume no thanks I like they way they’ve done it also Olaf is originally voiced by an adult so ..
In the actual show it looks so much better than it does here. When I watched I only watched the puppet and didn’t watch the man
